Dailies for
January of
2006

We've made some internal updates to the various aggregation files kept here (like the general Saugus one, the Saugus forums one, etc.). Please note that these aren't meant to be used with a regular browser; rather they are meant to be used with an RSS aggregator application (you can find some available for free from the Free Software page).

The final batch of Saugus Historical Society calendars has been brought out for distribution (this final group went to the Saugus Public Library). If you've not yet gotten your copy, you should try and get one soon as they're starting to run out everywhere.

The print run of the Saugus Historical Society calendars has finished and they're all assembled. Come tomorrow, they'll all have been divided up among the various distribution sites. This means that now as places run out, they won't be getting any more. This also means if you haven't gotten your copy yet, you should probably grab one at your next opportunity as they'll be gone soon.

The new Newton book reader extension for Firefox available from Newton's Library was downloaded nearly 900 times this past weekend. There's a new version available now, so if you tried it and got annoyed by the "Unresponsive Script Warnings" on slower computers and/or bigger books, you should get the newer version as that particular problem has been fixed.

The office will be closed today for the holiday. However, the Community Events Calendar, Saugus Forums, and other like pages will continue to be updated. Calendars will still be available at the various sponsors' sites (in addition to those town buildings like the Public Safety Building and DPW Building that are still open).

Quite a few places have already started running out of the annual Saugus calendars; they're still being produced, but not quickly enough to keep up with demand. If you're looking for one during the weekend, remember that you can pick one up at the Saugus Public Library and at many of the sponsors' sites even when the Town Hall is closed.

The Newton's Library site has a new feature that'll help out all those who've found interesting Newton books before but haven't been able to do with them. It's a Newton book reader extension that works with your browser to display Newton book contents. It requires Firefox, but if you're still using an old, non-standards-compliant browser, you can upgrade to Firefox via the button on the sidebar.

The annual Saugus calendars are out in quantity; over a thousand have already been delivered to the Saugus Public Library, Saugus Town Hall, and the various sponsors' sites, but even still some places have not been able to keep up with demand. Places that have run out will be restocked on Monday or Tuesday so if you haven't been able to get a calendar yet you should be able to get one next week.

We've fixed a reported glitch with the Saugus Forums; if you were having trouble posting messages before, you may want to try again now.

While yesterday we reported that perhaps a few dozen of the annual Saugus Historical Society Calendars had already been distributed, today we can say that a few hundred more have joined them. Hundreds more should be getting distributed each day until they eventually all run out; they'll be available at all the various calendar sponsors' sites plus places like the Saugus Public Library and Saugus Town Hall.

We're told that small quantities of the annual Saugus Historical Society Calendar have already made their way out of Park Press Printers, and that some people even had copies as early as last Friday. We expect that pretty soon they will start arriving in quantity in all the usual places; we'll keep you informed.
